The truth about Venice

Private guided tour at Teatro La Fenice in Venice

“Offbeat Venice” is pleased to offer a private guided tour at the La Fenice Theater in Venice.

In 1787 the Societas, formed by members of the nobility and the upper Venetian bourgeoisie, which until then had managed the theater San Beneto, decided to found a new theater, which should have been the most important in the city.

Giovanni Antonio Selva was chosen as the architect.

It will take more than two years to create La Fenice Theater.

The theater was inaugurated on Ascension Day in 1792 with the “Giuochi d’Agrigente” of Paisiello.

La Fenice immediately became the equivalent of La Scala in Milan and San Carlo in Naples.

In 1859, as a sign of rebellion against Austrian domination, La Fenice closed its doors. It is in this explosive atmosphere that Luchino Visconti will set his film “Senso” of 1954. La Fenice then as a symbol of the aspiration to freedom of the Venetian people.

These and other interesting stories will be told during the visit of the spectacular Venetian historical theater, which burned and raised again from its ashes many times, just like a phoenix.

This is not a group visit (that you can book directly on the Theater website), but on the contrary you will have a private professional guide that will take you personally through the fascinating history of its halls.

The visit lasts about 1 hour and can be carried out in Italian, English and French.

Aperitif on a terrace in Venice

A new proposal from “Offbeat Venice“: aperitif on a rooftop terrace in Venice.

A stone’s throw from San Marco but away from the noisy crowd, you can enjoy a Venetian aperitif on one of the most beautiful terraces of the city.

This is not the usual altana, but a real terrace that is also distinguished by a rare style in Venice: the Liberty.

Embraced by a frame of flowers and aromatic plants (the result of a careful and loving research of a true professional), your view will span the rooftops of Venice, from the bell tower of Santo Stefano to the domes of San Marco.
